Hello, I'm relatively new to AIX and have been tasked with updating some 6.1 T6 P4 systems to P9. During the patch installation the operation fails with two missing requisite base level packages. I've searched through all of the installation media I can find and have not been able to locate these packages to solve the dependency.

Can anyone suggest where I might find the necessary requisites, or if it's possible to apply the patchset without them (given that they are driver packages not in use by the system)

Requisite Failures
SELECTED FILESETS: The following is a list of filesets that you asked to
install. They cannot be installed until all of their requisite filesets
are also installed. See subsequent lists for details of requisites.

Had you downloaded 6100-06-09 and specified Include prerequisites and co-requisite fixes I can only imagine you would have had the necessary filesets included. BUT the download would have been MUCH MUCH larger.

Anyway, download 6100-06-06 without asking for prerequisites, then you can run:
